The objective of this study was to examine the life history of
vine maple on the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest. This study was
conducted as a part of an I. B. P. general study of understory biomass
and productivit ...

Recently concerns over anthropogenic carbon pollution have received increased
global attention and research in forest biomass and carbon sequestration has gained
momentum. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sen ...
Forest managers in the Blue Mountains, of northeastern Oregon are currently faced with
vast areas of forests with health problems and high fuel loadings. These conditions
resulted from a combination of insect infestati ...
Copper migration from treated wood has created concerns within the
environmental community because of the potential effects of this heavy
metal on aquatic organisms. Migration can be limited, to some extent, by
more c ...
Samples of mature vegetation from 8 of 12 major vegetational zones in Oregon and Washington, representing about 80% of the area of the two states, were studied along a latitudinal transect from the Pacific Coast
to the ...

In this case, the student is a senior partner in Corporate Planning Group (CPG), a strategy-consulting firm. The principals of National Systems, Inc. (the company) have retained CPG to develop a 5-year strategic marketin ...
A model (called MERLIN) is presented that can allow the resource manager to consider the combined effects of silvicultural treatments and their effect on expected logging production and costs. This integrated analysis ta ...
Concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere has increased over the past 150 years. Because CO₂ is one of a number of radiatively active gases, there is concern that global temperatures will rise and climatic ...
This dissertation investigates livelihood and land use change dynamics in a community at the farm-forest periphery in highland Ethiopia. I use interviews and livelihood assessment data to compare the strategies used by m ...
This paper presents an evaluation of the cable loading
support capacity of red alder, Alnus rubra Bong., Sitka
spruce, Picea sitchensis (Bong.) Carr, and western hemlock,
Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg., tail trees. C ...
This paper documents the development of a model which
determines multiple stump anchor system displacement as a
response to skyline load for four anchor rigging
configurations: 1. Series multiple, 2. Tieback, 3. Eleva ...
The comercial thinning of second-growth stands in the Pacific
Northwest is becoming increasingly important for satisfying the demand
for timber. Cable logging will require the rigging of smaller intermediate
support t ...
This dissertation is a collection of three manuscripts that serve to fill the knowledge gaps and advance methods of detecting the effects of contemporary forest harvesting in experimental catchment studies. While there ...
A log breakdown model, SAW3D, was developed to
optimize lumber recovery from logs of any shape in 3-
dimensional space. The program uses a polygonal cross
section representation of logs; three nested dynamic
